Detcon<\/a> \u2014 you rocked. Congrats to Tammy Coxen, Helen Montgomery, Kim Kofmel, Anne Gray, Dave Gallaher, Murray Moore, Tim Miller, Don Wenzel, Evelyn Baker, Deb Geisler, Ben Yalow, Lisa Hertel, Steven Silver, Jesi Pershing, and all who worked so hard to make this a great weekend. Tricia Noble and team ran a smooth-running Art Show, and pictured here are two of my favorite guest liaisons ever \u2014 Lisa Leutheuser and Joe Saul.<\/p>\nLisa and Joe co-hosted a rolling Pirate Party that roamed the halls of the con hotel on Saturday night, and they even tied for a show prize for \u2018Best Party\u2019. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Thanks to all who attended my programming items and bid for my artwork in the Art Show. A special shoutout goes to everyone who played Loteria on Friday and scored my new limited-run Loteria posters!<\/p>\n
For many, many months in advance, hard-working people pour their hearts and souls into making a successful con like this one. It amazes me how much work it takes \u2014 and then how fast it\u2019s all over.<\/p>\n
It was an honor to be Artist Guest of Honor at this NASFiC, and Detroit \u2014 with everything you\u2019ve been through in recent years, and continue to endure \u2014 you can be especially proud of how great and resurgent this NASFiC was.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
